about Nonsurgical Treatment Options for Female Incontinence
Powering Up Your Pelvic Floor
Incontinence affects all sexes, though it’s statistically twice as likely to strike women after childbirth. Whether through nature, time, or lack of use, pelvic floor muscles weaken enough to reduce or eliminate bladder control.
That often makes an embarrassing experience out of sneezing, coughing, or laughing. However, non-surgical Emsella treatments can rebuild those muscles, giving you back control—and much more!

Pelvic prolapse
Vaginal laxity
Erectile dysfunction

Why Choose Non-Surgical Female Incontinence Treatment in North Chicago?
Female incontinence is a common condition affecting many women, characterized by involuntary urine leakage. This can occur due to various factors, including weakened pelvic floor muscles. To effectively address this issue, it is crucial to identify the underlying cause through a comprehensive medical evaluation, including physical examination and diagnostic tests. Once the cause is determined, a personalized stress incontinence treatment plan can be developed.
In North Chicago, there is a revolutionary non-invasive option available for bladder leakage treatment called Emsella. This treatment utilizes high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles responsible for controlling bladder function. In just a 30-minute session, Emsella delivers thousands of supramaximal contractions to the pelvic floor muscles, providing a safe and effective solution for urinary incontinence in elderly females and males.
What sets Emsella apart is its convenience and comfort. The urinary incontinence treatment is performed while the patient is fully clothed and seated comfortably on the Emsella chair. The chair emits electromagnetic waves that stimulate muscle contractions, effectively strengthening the pelvic floor. Emsella can address a range of pelvic floor issues, including stress incontinence.

You will experience tingling and pelvic floor muscle contractions during the procedure. You may resume daily activities immediately after the treatment.
Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary leakage of urine. There are three different types of urinary incontinence:
- Stress incontinence. When pressure on the bladder causes leakage (coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercising).

- Mixed incontinence. A combination of both stress and urge incontinence
You can’t have Emsella treatments if the following conditions are present:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding

Often women who are being treated for cancer can’t take hormones, which could help with incontinence. Emsella® treatments can be perfectly suitable for anyone who has had cancer treatment, or might be currently undergoing treatment. Talk to your cancer provider first, and then we can discuss possibilities.
